biz speech In every way. The Tories were
pulled to pieces with the energy and skill that
only tho Grand Old Man In his moments OF en-
thusiasm possesses. Their cowardice in do
serting their friends, the landowners, under
pressure from the Unionists was painted In
with withoring scorn, and figures from the re-
cent elections were quoted to show how fast
their hold upon the people was being @ost. Tho
speech was one Of the longest evor made by
Mr.. Gladstone. as we'll as one OF the best. and
his concluding phrases quote here:

When the Grand Old Man had finished 1t
seemed as though tho ycllinGs and cheerings
of his listeners would never cease. He had
plainly won every man in tho room. and reso-
lutions expressing confidence in him as the
leader of the Liberal party, and heartily sup
porting his Irish policy, were passed amid tho
widest enthusiasm. t
The hopeful, confident speech Of the Liberal
leader contrasts strongly with that OF Lord
Salisbury now only nominally leader OF the
Tories. Deviating from his aristocratic habit.
he has this week mounted the stump at Nor
wich. the sleepy old cathedral city. in which he
harangued for an hour 5000 picked Tories.
His tone was Respondent. and tho bitterness Of
his attacks on Gladstone and the Irish leaders
shows how much he fears tho power OF the
men whom the Tories a few months ago de-
scribed as crushed and annihilated. Political
populations, whom he received. were warned
not to be unprepared for q dissolution Of
Parliament, and his dread of that dis
solution, so eagerly awaited by the Glad
stonians was evident. In short, the
Tories are greatly weakened. They may.
and probably WILL keep together until
spring despite tho disunion among tho Union
lists. but their Irish policy In the coming recess
is certain to weaken them still further, and
dangerous as political prophecies usually are.
1t is safe to say that the Tories will not live
through the next session. The work OF the
House OF Commons has been devoted princi-
pally to the Land bill clauses. which are being
raIidly passed with many amendments favor
abo to Irish tenants. and due to the Tory fear
Of losing the Unionist support. and TO Uniontst
fear Of losing the support Of those who elected
them. The bill will probably pass the House
early next week, and will greatly benefit Ire

good work in connection with the Land bill.
He spoke frequently In the House last night.
and remained until tho end OF the session at
o'clock this morning. His voice is much
stronger. his face is not so pale rs 1t has been
OF late. and his health is greatly improved.
Harcourt has continued to earn everybodys
respect. and has been laundering In his blud

against Goschen. whom he hates In way that
